I would also like to report to the House that, last week, the Auditor-General, who had served this parliament extraordinarily well over a long period of time, Mr Ian McPhee, retired. As somebody who worked with him over many years in the public accounts committee and in other ways, I would like to place on record a great deal of thanks to Ian McPhee for the service that he gave to this parliament. I would ask that perhaps the House join me in marking the respect that we hold for him by doing something we do not usually do—a simple round of applause.
